ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

hnim Saw this one at Nippon Connection Festival in Frankfurt, Germany in May 2011. I'm always pleasantly surprised by the simple and low-key narration of Japanese films. There were plenty lovely moments in "Here comes the bride" like that dialogue when the guy tells her the story about his grandmother waking up and saying "I wanna meet James Dean" - priceless line. Plus, the whole flashback of the daughter's co-worker harassing her was masterfully acted and directed. Stayed in my mind for a long time. I would compare it to Kenneth Lonergan's "You can count on me", since it appears so ordinary, but is highly affecting. Very rare these days. Looking forward to this year's Nippon Connection and hopefully get surprised again.
